Jewish Cemetery, Penang, Malaysia
I took these photographs at the Jewish Cemetery on the island of Penang, Malaysia. The cemetery is located an Jalan Zainal Abidin (formerly Jalan Yahud - Jewish Street.) One of the reasons I am posting them here is because some people, particularly relatives of those buried there, may by chance find their names on the (few) headstones I photographed. If anyone does identify a relative buried here, please let me know (and perhaps also forward the information to the International Jewish Cemetery Project, http://www.iajgsjewishcemeteryproject.org/, which currently has no names listed for those buried at the cemetery.)
